Welcome to St. Paul Evangelical Lutheran Church in Defiance , Ohio .

        It is a blessing to welcome you to our home on the web.  St. Paul is an incredible community of faith, rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ, sent into the world to carry the Good News!  Whether it be to our neighbor next door, to hurricane ravaged parts of Mississippi , or to our partners in Serbia – we the people of St. Paul seek to carry God’s love into all the world.

    We strive to make St. Paul a sanctuary -- a shelter in the midst of life’s storms, a safe harbor, a place where members and visitors, families and strangers can come together in a community for worship, fellowship, and discipleship.

     St. Paul is a place where faith is nurtured.  It is a church where members and visitors alike are comforted by God's love and challenged by his call – the call to go into the world to “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly with our God.”

If you have any questions about St. Paul or our ministries please don’t hesitate to contact us.
